Committees

Welcome to the Committees section.

In the public interest Ministers need the advice they receive on matters relating to the regulation of medicines and medical devices to be impartial. They also need to be able to seek such advice from a wide range of highly skilled professionals who are senior and well regarded in their respective fields and from a range of appointed lay and patient representatives. A number of independent advisory committees have been established to provide such an advice. These committees can also establish working group to address specific problems. Members of these committees receive no remuneration but are paid expenses. This section sets out details about the terms of references of these various committees, their members and the work they undertake.
